The parade required an hour or more to pass a given point, and was everywhere watched by crowds of deeply interested spectators. : Contest for Commander in Cheif. The contest for commander in chief ‘has become much more complicated by the arrival of a large delegation from New York, headed by Corporal Tanner, in support of Col. John C. Sheetts, of Yonkers. This not only divides the vote of the department of New York against Col. A, D. Shaw, of Watertown, N. Y., but it also divides the vote of other eastern departments

I. ¥. Mack, the Ohio candidate for commander in chie€, is ‘embarrassed in his canvass by the fact that W. C. Johnson, of Cinecinnati, has been determined on as the man for senior ‘vice commander, and the two leading offices are not likely to go to the same state. Commander ‘W. E. Atkins has heretofore been considered as the leading candidate for rear admiral of the Natjonal Naval association, but he is having a close contest now with Commodore J. F. R. Foss for that position. The contest for the new offices has now become quite animated among the ladies. . :

The day began with| a salute of 101 guns and a majestic ¢horale performed by trumpeters frouf the crenéllated towers of the five great churches of Amsterdam. S ' Almost immediately afterward the queen mother jappeared in a state coach which was surmbunted by a gilt royal crown upon a crimson cushion. She received an cbVation and was greeted with endless cheering and cries of “Long live the quieen mother.” The Queen, The Queen! About ten mi;};\tes later, the beating of dryms and the blare of trumpets signaled the facs that Queen Wilhelmina had 'left the palace, and at that very mo‘ment,_thie sun burst from the clouds in brilliancy,-which was looked upon as being a?huppj’ dugury for the young sovereign, . . The procession was headed by the kings-of-arms, ‘tith the heralds in their gorgeous antique costumes and bearing long trumpets adorned with pendant flags. But all the splendor of the royal retinue was overlooked by the vast crowds|of people; whose eyes were turned up[L)n the central figure of this imposing function—the young queen, on foot} amidst the people, decked with all |{the emblems of royal-

ty. At her head was a diadem of diamonds, crown shaped. Her robe was of white silk, with a long train undera mantle of rich, red velvet, on which the lions of Nassau were displayed in gold embroidery. The mantle was bordered with ermine. | s The sword of state was carried before the young queen by a general. Her majesty |carried herself -with grace and fortitude, but her blanched cheeks were evidence of the prafound emotion inspireg by: the greatness of the ocecasion. | . - ' The JQf!wels Worn. The jewels worn by the young queen were part of thpse stolen in Brussels on September 9, 1829. Some of them were recovered by the police of New York, a year later, through information which a Frienchman hamed :Roumage gave to q'he Dutch minister at Washington. i» It is impossible to adequately - describe the acclamations which greet-. ed the queen. T-be roars of loyal cheers grew louder and more sustained as her majesty proceeded to the church, which, in the Eneanwhile, had been filled with brilliantly robed ladies and uniformed civil jand military authorities, naval officers and members of the: diplomatic corps. The interior of the church disc]ose%ﬂa magnificent wealth of drapery, banners, palms and flowers. In front qof the chancel was the throne, of gorgeous crimson and gold velvet, with the erown, orb, scepter and sword occupying stools. ; ' : . On the right of the throne were menbers of the royal families and on the Jeft were the Indian princes from the Dutch possessions: e : The Q leen’s Mother. : As the procession of the queen mother entered the Lchu'rch the assembly arese and rempined standing. The queen mother wore a low-necked dress of light mauve color, trimmed with lace and covered with pearls.

The first public utterance of the queen to her people was listened to with profound emotion. Her enunciation was so perfect that her clear voiee penetrated to thesfarthest recesses of the church.

~ After the address, the queen sat for a few moments and then again arose and recited, in the same clear tones, the usual oath to uphold the constitution, défend the independence of the country, protect the liberty of her subjects, -using therefor all legal means, “as a good king should.” Thus was the investiture ecompleted, but the solemnity of the occasion, the exceptional circumstances, the youth and Sex of the monarch, and the deep sincerity with which she voiced her closing words, so deeply impressed all present that some time elapsed before the effect passed off and there were few eyes which were not dimmed with tears. After a few moments of silence, however, a great shout of “Long live the .queen,” broke out and was three times repeated. - ; *
